Odorous House Ants
Small dark ants that trail along counters; they give off a musty smell when crushed.

Ant Control That Goes Beyond the Trail
Ants you see are only a small part of the colony. We find where they're nesting and how they're getting in — then treat the source so they don't keep coming back.

The Trail Is Only Part of the Story
Behind every trail is a colony — sometimes several — hidden in walls, under slabs or in the yard.
Spraying the ants you can see rarely reaches the queen or the nest. Some species can even split into new colonies when disturbed by the wrong product. That's why we identify the species first and choose a targeted approach that works with the colony's behavior.

Which Ants Are You Seeing?
Pavement Ants
Nest under slabs and sidewalks, leaving small piles of soil at cracks.
Carpenter Ants
Large ants that excavate moist or damaged wood; look for fine sawdust-like debris.
Pharaoh Ants
Tiny pale ants that nest in wall voids and can spread when disturbed.
Fire Ants
Aggressive mound-building ants in some regions; avoid disturbing mounds.
Acrobat Ants
Often found near moisture-damaged wood, insulation and siding.

Four Steps to Ant-Free Rooms
Trace Trails & Nests
We follow activity to the nest and the way inside.
Identify the Species
The species determines the right treatment strategy.
Treat the Colony
Targeted placements designed to reach the colony — not just the trail.
Seal & Prevent
Entry points, moisture and food sources addressed for lasting results.
What we recommend between visits: wipe counters and sweep crumbs daily, store food in sealed containers, fix leaky pipes, keep mulch and branches away from siding, and let us know if trails reappear
